ケーニヒスヴァルタでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

An adventure park for all ages has been created on the former open-cast mining site in Caminau. Those wishing to explore this adventure trail should pay close attention on the B 96 coming from Königswartha towards Hoyerswerda to avoid missing the small signpost behind the fish pond. In 2005, a 350,000-square-meter former open-cast mining area of the Caminau kaolin works was opened to the public. Gradually, a unique network of biotopes developed, attracting many visitors with its diverse offerings: These include a dendrological nature trail, showcasing a collection of native and non-native trees. There is also a plant collection from Asia, featuring a replica of a Japanese shrine as a symbol of good fortune.

On the way from the castle ruins to the viewpoint at the kaolin mine, this large stone quarry lies in the middle of the coniferous forest by the path.

The forest playground is beautifully designed; you can climb, slide and dig, there's even a forest school with a blackboard.

Only about 20 years ago, some attractions were built on the spoil heap of the kaolin mine. Excavation work is still taking place there today.

The wetland habitat contains many forests and fish ponds. Over decades, the post-mining landscape has been shaped and enhanced. However, unlike during the GDR era, this was not done by reforesting with pure stands of pine, but rather through a variety of attractions.

The amphitheater is also artificially created as an open-air stage; whether performances are ever actually held here is unknown to us.

The Caminau castle ruins, with their three round towers, are an artificial ruin built in the 21st century and opened to the public after 2012. They are the highlight of the Caminau biotope network, which was constructed as part of the remediation and recultivation of the former open-cast mining site of the Caminau calamine works.

Successful renaturation of a kaolin open-cast mining site with many interesting signs and sights.
